    "Caroni 2000 US bottling almost freshly opened - a very nice find at Pusser‘s in Munich. Lacking the side-by-side versus the EU edition, from memory this is on par. As for the EU bottling, this is a very nice expression of the 2000 vintage with high intensity, dirt and some dried fruits. Works very well at the reduced ABV imo."

    "A rather dry and oily Caroni with vegetal notes, wood and a little fruit. I’m very happy to have tasted this one although it was a little different from the other Caronis that I have sampled so far."
